Usually, I receive photographs from
visitors and so, it is with a great amount of giddiness and trepidation, that
for the first time, I present a photo taken by myself.

I have recently began going on ghost
hunting trips with a local paranormal research society and, while I don't always
agree with their techniques or methods (good lord, they actually think orbs are
paranormal) I enjoy hanging around with them and going to various and supposedly
haunted locations.

It was in Marysland Cemetery that this
photograph was taken. I was told by the head of the group that the
cemetery is highly active and the lore is that it is haunted by a benevolent
woman in a black dress who has actually been photographed by the group (and, I
have to admit, it's an impressive capture). The reason why the woman in
the black dress haunts the cemetery is because her children, who died before she
did, are buried there and she watches over them.

On the night of the investigation, I
wandered off from the rest of the small group and began taking pictures. I
don't have the words to describe it, but I was drawn to a circle of trees at the
back edge of the property, but saw nothing, heard nothing, and nothing showed up
in any of my pictures.

A little disappointed that such a strong
feeling resulted in nothing, I decided to take pictures of everything I could.
After a couple of hours, we called it a night and went home.

A few days later, I noticed the picture in
question amoung the 300 I took that night. It was a woman with a ponytail
walking toward the circle of trees I had the feeling about. Her body is
transparent and her legs are invisible. She is walking to the right of a
tree and in front of a chain link fence which is partially blocked from her
being in front of it.

Could this be the mysterious lady in black?

Analysis

I know, I know...
everyone's ready to pull the matrixing card on me for this one and, rightfully
so. I myself am not fully convinced I caught a phantom, but the head of
the paranormal society I was with believes I did. I also have to admit,
that if this is matrixing... it's damn good matrixing. The fact that the
figure appears to be blocking the fence behind her is also noteworthy and the
fact that her lower half is transparent is downright spooky.

Conclusion

I won't write a
conclusion for this one. Instead, I leave that to you. Did I catch a
ghost or is it just random grain or some plant I didn't notice? Post your
thoughts below.
